As for forums, sax on the web is good, mostly american but unlike some bluegrass forums I've been on, they are all pretty smart.
For a UK based one, this is good: https://cafesaxophone.com/forums/
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
Then stopped.
Now my youngest spawn is having lessons so I'm playing again every now and again. Surprising how much comes back.
I'm not on any forums for it - I'm playing bass in a big band at the mo so there are plenty of sax players to answer my questions if I need it.

Might be worth trying out a few Yanagisawa saxes, they're nicely made and finished.
Yamaha SS62 (I think) Soprano
Selmer mkVI alto (1963)
Selmer mkVI tenor (1960)
Hanson baritone.
I'm not on any fora for sax but I moderate a clarinet forum.
GTC which is dedicated to Greek and Turkish clarinet styles and music.
I started sax at school, so I’ve always had a student sax of some kind. It’s set up for someone learning, and I’m so used to the ergonomics of that set-up that I’ve stuck with them.
I’m with @Teetonetal on this: Yamaha saxes are popular for a reason. I was using the Armstrong sax I got when I was 12-13 right up until about 2 years ago but the pads had really started to give way, so I got a Yahama YAS-280 to replace it. Great sax, very well made, but they key is to add a decent mouthpiece, and there are a wealth of those to try: Vandoren and Selmer are both worth a look.
